What's it like to ply the waters of the Strait of Hormuz as Iran threatens military action in the strategic waterway? CNN's Frederik Pleitgen is aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and takes a look.

i do not like the tight quarters these two carriers are in , one carrier is plenty! a ground base missile launch at over mach 2 makes the gulf a small place when this is multiplied by two or three.

Please unless you have been to, lived in,or served in the middleast,Asia,or Africa. You dont know doodlie squat!!!! Please refrain from commenting to avoid looking like total morons thank you!!!! As Always Have A nice day!

iran wont close the strait until they are attacked. and even then closing it will cause problems with countries they have no issue with. what will happen is if iran is attacked all countries supporting the war better not have a vessel in that area. the ship passing through only shows the sanctions effect has not brought out any desperation on irans behalf. which is why u.s.

Iran's missiles will take out our fleet in the Persian Gulf when our zionist master tells obama to attack Iran. It's what we need . . . .and that is an ass-whooping. We go around pushing on the little countries in the world around like we own them and being goaded on by the dirty evil zionists. Doing their dirty work, while they make billions off us, while our people do all the dying and spending our treasure, on their (zionists) wars. When have you seen the idf fighting along side the U.S. military in any of the past wars in the middle east? When and where?

It is bound to happen. Some little country is going to whoop our butts ? oh yeah, I forgot, Vietnam whooped our butts. So did Korea. AMerica, controlled by the zionists, is a terrorist state. America is a rouge state and Iran is going to whoop our butts with the help of China and Russia. You'll see.

Name one heavyweight zionist boxer. They can't fight don't know how to fight and everyone knows they are sissy b i tches. zionists khazars poop heads aren't tough. They know only how to kill innocent women and children in Gaza.

You have no idea man, i have been overseas to serve and to travel, you people that live in america and talk bad about your own country, do you even know whats going on or are you just watching t.v. or pictures on the internet and making your own oppinions? or hearing one mans oppinion and saying thats the truth. do you really think you can live the way you do in other countries?
